Quality of slides and lectures could be somewhat better, more practical exercises would greatly increase value. But overall, I am happy with the course.

the course is excellent but without the supporting book it would have been almost useless. The chapters to be studied should be included in the course.

Clean and easy to follow. Could be improved with better visuals.

This was basically like having someone read a textbook to you, which was pretty good.

The content is good, but the recording is not very good. It's too robotic and we can hear speaker's breathing, it's kind of annoying.

Great beginner level course. Its really a pain that you can not obtain the text on Amazon. Look for an e-version somewhere.
